P16 Float codes

The Float codes from the LMS include a code and an associated name. This page allows you to see the code and name of a float code, and to edit whether the float code is active or inactive.

Depending on the setting of the system and the user credentials, it can be possible to edit the name and the code of the float code.

Hint: When multiple float codes need to be disabled at the same time, it is practical to include inactive float codes in the overview by ticking the checkbox “Include inactive”. This ensures that the overview does not jump to the top of the page each time a float code is disabled.
Please note: Depending on if IMMS or the LMS manage the float codes, you will have access to either this page or the Float Codes page under IMMS Master Data.
